We are a “roofless” community in the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri dedicated to helping people deepen and enrich their spiritual lives. Confluence joins each person’s journey by providing opportunities and resources for spiritual formation.

These 4-hours will offer seekers an introduction to a rainbow of women religious.

Thérèse of Lisieux (“the Little Flower,” France, 1873-1897), Julian of Norwich (England, 1342-c.1416), and Mechthild of Magdeburg (Germany, c.1207-c.1282) share more than one might expect.

After learning of their lives and main tenets, the group will playfully match writings with authors to discern their similarities and differences. 

To meet the needs of various temperaments, our engagement time with mystical texts will offer opportunity and prompts for creative response or further study, alone, with a partner, or in a small group — with a final gathering for debriefing, sharing as desired, discussion, and a mystic-inspired prayer.

The Rev. Dr. Emily Hillquist Davis and Sabine McDowell will host the event presented by Confluence: A Center for Spirituality.

Registration ends at midnight on Monday, April 15.
